Our flagship event designed to cater to the needs of those who design, build, operate and maintain our built environment. These sessions focus on the use of BIM tools, BIM processes and workflows, as well as project and practice strategies and leadership skills.

The Building Content Summit (BCS) is an event dedicated to bringing together thought leaders from within the design, manufacturing and software sectors to discuss best practices for development and how to leverage BIM content within projects.

Aimed at students and educators, BILT academy is a one-day summit including Labs with exciting and interesting experts as speakers to provide the opportunity to discover the current state of the art practices and workflows in a multiple platform environment.

A hackathon is a design 'sprint-like' event where teams of usually between 3-6 people work together based on a specific theme, with the goal to create usable software or hardware as a functioning prototype or product by the end of the event.

DBEI has been closely monitoring the COVID-19 (coronavirus) situation around the world. While some parts of our society are beginning to open in baby-steps, none of us know how the situation will develop over the coming months. As such, DBEI has now made the decision to postpone all our 2020 events to 2021 as the well-being of all our partners and participants in our events remains our utmost priority. For new details on each region please visit our event pages. We have also sent communications to all registered attendees, speakers or sponsors for all of our 2020 events.

In the interim, DBEI will be launching several exciting virtual events and webinars in 2020 to continue to deliver the same expertise, insights and knowledge to the AEC industry during these uncertain times. We also have some other exciting initiatives we are working on to continue to provide value to our community, which we look forward to sharing with you all shortly.

We wish to thank you all for your support and appreciate your patience and understanding under the current circumstances and will continue to update our website and the community if there are any changes.
